On the Line has released the annual report for the financial year 2020.
This year has been challenging for many Australians. It started with drought, floods and bushfires, and then we all had to adjust to the impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic on our daily lives. During this period, telephone and online counselling helplines have played a greater support role for those struggling with their wellbeing and mental health.
On the Line is proud that we were able to provide professional counselling and support services to over 130,000 occasions of service in the last financial year. Throughout the pandemic, our services continued to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Our key highlights from the year:
- Provided 26 phone and online counselling and mental health services
- Delivered 136,150 phone and online sessions
- Secured $8.3m in new contracts
- Grew the business by 20%
- Increased counsellor productivity by 10%
- Mobilised 40% of the workforce to work remotely, ensuring continuity of service.
